Doug Gillen Passes At 72     2-13-26
From Gillen Broadcasting;
"With heavy hearts, we at Gillen Broadcasting, KISS 105.3, and 98.9 JAMZ are mourning the loss of our founder and owner, Douglas J. Gillen. For nearly 40 years, Doug was quietly a pillar of our local community, preferring to stand behind the spotlight of his DJs. A philanthropist at heart who freely gave to raise awareness for local charities. Yet no one could have done more to support local businesses in our area and take such joy in seeing them thrive."
